COURT WON BY EX-CONVICT
Detectives' Accused of Hounding Man
After Release.
"Am I supposed to bang a sign
across my back saying 'Ex-convict
from Walla Walla?" " was the ques
tion asked by Abe Goldberg, who se
cured his freedom in Municipal Court
yesterday after being arrested for
vagrancy by Detectives Vaughn and
Hyde. The query and the rest of a
10-mlnute speech which Goldberg made
freed him and bis companion, Frank
E. Rhoades, also an ex-convict.
Goldberg said that he was hounded
by the detectives. He said that he
had served 22 months for the crime
of which he had been accused, and had
so expiated it.
In the few weeks since he was freed,
he said, he had been arrested twice,
once for peddling without a license
and once for vagrancy. He said that
he had found work, but that when
his employers learned of his record
from detectives he lost his positions.
Judge Stevenson listened attentively to
the talk.

VANDALS SMASH WINDOWS
Plate Glass in Jewelry Stores Is
Shattered Without Kobhery.
With no apparent object save wanton
destruction, two plateglass display win
dows, one at A and C. Feldenheimer's
Jewelry store at Washington and Park
streets, and the other at Friedlander's
Jewelry store at Sixth and Washington
streets, were smashed presumably at
about 9 o'clock Tuesday night. The
motive was evidently not robbery, for
nothing of value was displayed in the
Keldenhelmer window, and at Fried
lander's a tray of watches within easy
reach of a robber, remained untouched.
The time when the Frledlander win
dow was broken Is established by the
burglar alarm, which sounded at 9 P. M.
Local Jewelers and plateglass insur
ance companies have asked for special
police protection, to be continued for
an indefinite time.

STATE TO AID WILKINS
PROSECUTOR OFFERS TO PAY FOB
OBTAiaTIKO MESSAGES.
Brother of Man Defendant Is Accnsed
of Murdering Breaks Down While
on Witness Stand.
All expense of obtaining evidence
concerning two telegrams, which At
torney W. T. Hume insisted were taken
from Lloyd H. Wllkins when he was
arrested, will be paid by the state, said
Deputy District Attorney Magulre yes
terday afternoon at Wllkins' trial The
defendant Is charged with the murder
of Lou Winters. The telegrams, the
attorney for the defense said, were ad
dressed to Wllkins and were In reply
to messages he had sent Inquiring as
to the whereabouts of his wife. One of
them, Mr. Hume .said, was from Ta
coma and the other from Chehalia.
Mr. Maguire took offense at what
he called the insinuation of counsel for
the defense that the state was con
cealing evidence.
"No such messages have ever come
to my notice In examining the effects
of the defendant, and the state will pay
all expenses which might be Incurred
in bringing to light any evidence in
regard to the telegrams. I make this
offer In good faith, that the defendant
might have a fair trial and because I
don't want it to be said that the state
is suppressing evidence."
Deputy District Attorney Collier, who
also had examined the effects taken
from Wllkins when he was arrested,
said he had seen only one telegram,
which was . offered in evidence, but
which was not the telegram Mr. Hume
wanted.
The tilt between the attorneys came
during the cross-examination of De
tective Hellyer, who corroborated his
fellow officer in this testimony. .
A J. Winters, a brother of Lou Win
ters, took the stand late in the day, but
broke down after he had answered the
first few questions and was excused
until today.
Other witnesses who testified during
the day were Earl Marshall, a taxi
driver, the first to find Winters afte
the assault; Arthur Anderson, C. P.
John and W. Robertson, carmen, who
arrived soon after Marshall found the
injured man, and F. C. Warren, who
drove by the scene of the crime In an
automobile and was hailed by some one
and asked If there was a physician in
the car. These testified an. to the con
dition and position of the body when
found.

COUNTY SCHOOL TAX SET
Superintendent Armstrong Estimates
Requirements at 9458,751.
Approximately $458,751 must be
raised, next year for "the county school
fund, according to estimates submitted
yesterday by County School Superin
tendent Armstrong to tne County Com
missioners. The law provides that $8.70
Ehall be raised for each child in the
county between the ages of four and
20 years. In 1912 the school census
showed 47,937 children In the county
within the school age, and Mr. Arm
strong believes that a 10 per cent in
crease in this number would not be an
excessive estimate.
To raise this amount, Mr. Armstrong
says the levy must be 1.4 mills, based
on a $340,000,000 valuation, with al
lowance for S per cent of the assess
ment remaining uncollected.

Improvements which. If made, would
constitute one of the largest projects
attempted in Portland.
The reason for discontinuing pro
ceedings is to give them a fresh start,
if property owners so desire. In some
places the paving was proposed to be
laid in advance of the laying of sewers
and water mains, which is contrary to
the city's policy.
